Dr. Arsheed Sheikh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Utrecht University, specializing in Plant-Microbe Interactions, Molecular Biology, and Environmental Biology. His research focuses on microbiome-driven metabolic regulation of epi-transcriptomics and epigenetics in crops, nuclear sulfur metabolism, and plant immune responses under biotic/abiotic stress. He teaches courses like Host-Microbe Interactions and Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions.
- Expertise: Analysis of Microbial Plant Pathogens, Plant Abiotic Stress, Host-Microbiome Interactions
- Skills: Plant-Microbe Interactions, Molecular Biology
- Research Themes: Life Sciences, Science for Life
His lab investigates molecular pathways using Arabidopsis and Soybean models to understand plant-microbe dynamics. Recent studies highlight roles of m6A RNA methylation, 14-3-3 proteins, and WRKY transcription factors in stress adaptation and immunity.
He uses Arabidopsis and Soybean as model systems to dissect molecular pathways in plant-microbe interactions. His work spans epigenetics, transcriptomics, and microbiome ecology, with implications for crop resilience.
